I don't know why, but I guess you don't see what incredible sensitivity for

that anyone would be less sensitive about their wife than their school.

Calling someone a pimp for his future wife is orders of magnitude more
serious.

When Genome made a despicable comment about Jim's late son, Jim simply
replied that Genome would get no more assistance from him.

So the difference is obviously that this built up over a longer time, and
therefore it's not just because of isolated comments.

But the pimp remark stands out from the rest.

_Fair_ people might want to read all that. But I'll not hold my

The infamous PITA will eventually stop posting about me, because I
won't see and be annoyed by his posts.

He keeps promising to killfile me and all followups, and keeps not
doing it. He can't stand to miss people talking about him.

He may have learned a little algebra at MIT, but they didn't teach him
anything about civility. Or much about electromagnetics.

Its some years old feud that he probably can't even remember what its

My "feud" with JT began when I made fun of a goofy "scientific
breakthrough" press release from MIT, with no reference to JT. His
alma mater is apparently sacred to him, and he took it as a personal
insult. He responded by saying obscene and obviously untrue things
about my wife.

I then called him an asshole, which I think remains an accurate
assessment.

---
PKB?

Knowing why he responded the way he did, had you then replied that you
meant him no slight with your first post, a lot of ugliness might have
been averted.

After he insulted my wife, you suggest that I should have apologized
to him?

---
Yes, of course, had your aim been merely to criticize MIT.

However, I suspect your intent was a little darker in that you knew
Jim would take umbrage at your remarks, allowing you to remain in the
limelight all that much longer.

You are both sick assholes, which is why you two are so attached to

I wasn't fooling around. I was commenting on the huge numbers of

press releases that MIT generates. That never amount to anything.

We went down there for Elderbrat's wedding and took a walk along the

bats know what they are doing.

Seems like a nice town, but it gets hot there. I grew up in New
Orleans and never got used to the heat. SF is chilly most of the time,
which suits me. And there's snow skiing 3 hours drive away, one reason
I moved here.

JT is slowly drifting in that general direction.

You make those kinds of generalizations all the time without producing
the slightest shred of evidence to back up your claims.

There's no need to make a presentation of what's already there for all to
see.

So now you're saying that what you think you see is what everyone else
sees?

If you think Phil is loony, then you don't have enough time in grade

Besides, if you really thought that Phil was a loon, instead of
extending a helping hand, why would you want to wind him up and cause
him unwarranted pain and a greater retreat into loonness?

Perhaps to assuage your own sense of inadequacy by trying to bring
your betters down to your level?

Homing envelope?

As far as your vendetta against JT goes, here you are with a dead shop
which you can't even use to verify data you've begged for and, yet
again, choose to besmirch those whom you don't/can't understand.

Philthy likes to scream and rant at everyone (especially newbies who can
be
put off usenet by it!) but he's not so great at taking it - which is
often
entertaining to watch.

---
Entertainment, then, according to you, is watching something
unpleasant happen to someone other than yourself?

Phil has a very low tolerance for bull**** and poorly constructed
queries and has no compunction whatever in using all the tools at his
disposal in order to discredit whatever looks bogus to him.

In my experience, if you disagree with Phil, politely, and state the
reasons for your disagreement, a rational discussion can ensue.

Actually, I could care less what anyone said about my school, so that

Where did you go to college?

Canal Zone College at La Boca in the Panama Canal Zone.

My older daughter got a PhD from UT in
Austin, and really liked the place, both the school and the town.

Austin's a nice place and, arguably, more than a little like San
Francisco:

I liked the bats under the bridge.

---
Cool.

They're even more spectacular when they fly.

We went down there for Elderbrat's wedding and took a walk along the
river at sunset. About a million bats came out and blasted overhead,
over the river walk. They looked like they'd hit us, but of course
bats know what they are doing.

Seems like a nice town, but it gets hot there. I grew up in New
Orleans and never got used to the heat. SF is chilly most of the time,
which suits me. And there's snow skiing 3 hours drive away, one reason
I moved here.

There's a certain amount of rabies in bats, though, so you have to be
careful.

We have bats on our hillside. Fun to watch. They go bananas in a
swarm of gnats ;-)

But we treat the owls as equals... otherwise they'll take you out ;-)
